The Detorit Lions had never come anywhere near a supebowl and it doesn't look like their going to do so any time soon. I think they should have open tryouts. Thats how good I think they suck.

Open tryouts is a novel idea but if they cant draft or sign decent free agent talent why in the world would you think they could recognize a talent off the street? First the GM and scouting department have to be capable of reconizing talent before they can develop a winning team. Next they need an owner that actually cares about the fans and winning instead of how much money he can make. If they found a remarkable talent why would anyone think they would pay huge money to keep them? They franchised Jeff Backus....how hard do you think the rest of the league laughed when they seen that one? Backus is a solid starter but not a Pro Bowl caliber player yet they deem him worthy of being paid amongst the 5 best at his position. And every year i hear about all that talent they have and they will turn things around. Really?.....and who are these talented individuals and why arent they playing them? Name 5 quality players.....I didnt think so! The offensive line is....well....offensive! The receivers...other than Roy Williams....horrible (they actually used a converted DB who got cut in ST. L. to be the 2nd receiver....pathetic!). Linebackers....you must be kidding me. Other than Sims this group is possibly the worst in the league....they used Paris Lenon as a starter...yea the same guy who got cut from Green bay because they determined he wasnt even good enough to be a special teamer (and their linebacking group isnt exactly loaded). DB's...never mind...this is getting old!
The only way for this to turn around is for the Ford family to sell the team and get an ownership group that cares about the fans. As bad as Millen is, he has only screwed them up for the last 6 years....they have sucked way longer than that!

I think even open tryouts might not work. This team is under coached and has a miserable management team. Even if they had the best talent on the team, they wouldn't know how to use it. Until they do something to address this problem, you're right. They'll always suck.
